I've contemplated returning to Team Fortress 2, if only for a few matches, but I'll probably get my ass kicked. After watching this skillful highlight reel from Demoman player Kaidus, I'm sure of it.
This guy knows what you're going to do before you do.

Happy Tuesday!
Welcome to Team Fortress 2sdays! Shadow is back with us this week with some recent updates to Team Fortress 2, as well as his plans to bring back his always entertaining series "Between 2Fort," where he interviews both Destructoid staff and community members while they try not to get shot. (F.Y.I - they get shot. A lot)
Take it away, Shadow!

Just the other day I was curious as to what Team Fortress 2 would do for Halloween this year. In fact, the TF2 event is one of the reasons why Halloween is my favorite holiday! Well the update, detailed here, h...

When I clicked on this blog post for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, my eyes went straight to the second image -- specifically, the sobbing Heavy. Love it. Next, they shifted to the Scout wearing a hat that looks like a giant ...

Team Fortress 2 is still chugging in a big way, and the latest bit of official content to drop is the Mann Co. maps, which are now available by way of Early Access. You can volunteer to test the maps for Valve by clicking the...

STBlackST did a terrific job with this Team Fortress 2 short, Hat_Dogs. It's a riff on Watch Dogs' "hack everything" mentality using characters we actually like.
Impressive, and -- with the inclusion of that bread line -- timely.

I'll assume everyone has already seen the Team Fortress 2 animated short that Valve put out yesterday and have been very excited to jump back into TF2. Today, the Love & War update has been more detailed, with new weapons and GIGANTIC balance changes.
Let's chat about them, shall we?

As part of the next major Team Fortress 2 update, Love and War, Valve has released a new short film called Expiration Date that's nearly 15 minutes long. And it's good! Real good.
The update will add new taunts to the game, ...

I've fallen off the Team Fortress 2 wagon in a big way; I used to play for at least 2-3 hours every day but the constant stream of updates and deluge of new items dulled my interest. Watching this latest episode of Did You K...

Today is Free Comic Book Day! It is what it sounds like: go to a participating comic book store, inevitably StreetPass some fellow 3DS users, and walk out with a free comic book. Maybe even expand your horizons and make some ...

Who doesn't love a shiny new hat, or two, to wear during their Team Fortress 2 shenanigans? Well if you've been looking to spruce up the old noggin with a little BioShock love, then Irrational Games has a treat for you.....

First there was Robot Heavy, now there is Robot Pyro. Not much else to share here other than we have an idea of what the Robot Pyro from Team Fortress 2 will look like in color. I certainly think they look better than the rob...

The votes are in for the 2013 Saxxy Awards and, thank goodness, the phenomenal short Patrick recently posted, "Lil' Guardian Pyro," took top honors. It's embedded above and I urge you to make time today to see it. I'm fighti...

After yesterday's tease of new Team Fortress 2 content, Valve has revealed more about the new update for its free-to-play shooter. On the official blog, the developers showed off the second map for the Two Cities update call...

Ever been so inspired by something that you want to take up that hobby immediately in an attempt to inspire future generations in the same way, only to then realize that it's way too much freaking work to even come close? We...

If you are a fan of Team Fortress 2's Halloween items, you won't have to worry about them going away at the end of the season. Valve announced that players will be able to use an "Eternaween server enchantment" to force ...

If you weren't already in the Halloween spirit (which you should be), Team Fortress 2 more than has your back. I assume you've read the Halloween comic that was posted today but are still unsatiated due to the lack of ga...

Of all the Halloween events to take place in online games, I feel confident in saying that Team Fortress 2 is among the best at celebrating All Hallows' Eve. It's easily my personal favorite, at any rate. This year's plans ha...

ThreeA's great looking Robot Heavy is now up for pre-order. The figure is a 1/6-scale figure, LED illuminated eyes, and includes a 12 inch minigun. Pre-ordering from Bambaland will also get you an exclusive boxing glove hands...

Hey everyone, I'd like to present to you the first episode of Challenge Scot, a show in which I attempt to complete various challenges in different games, and (hopefully) hilarity will ensue. Think of it as a really focused ...

When Valve first talked about the most recent Team Fortress 2 update, the focus was placed on two new community maps, "Process" and "Standin." Looking over the extensive patch notes now, however -- they keep going and going -...

A pair of user-made Capture Point maps -- "Process" and "Standin," if you follow the community's work -- are on the horizon for Team Fortress 2 as part of a looming update. Valve also says it will address bugs and exploits wi...

Venture Bros is back! Season 5 started up this past Sunday, and for those of you that missed the first episode it's available to stream in full on Adult Swim's YouTube channel. Or you can download the first episode on your X...

You're into robots and Team Fortress 2, right? I knew there was a reason why I liked you. The latest major update to the game that will not end (and thank goodness for that!) is the Robotic Boogaloo Update, a one-hundred per...

Remember last year when we finally got to meet the Pyro? Shortly after that video released, we were able to have our very own inflatable Balloonicorn to love and to cherish. Now, Valve has announced a fluffier, more cuddly ve...

Back in the glory days of Futurama came the brilliant "Hell Is Other Robots" episode that saw bender going to Robot Hell after committing some sins. The Robot Devil performs a little musical piece detailing Bender's torture in hell, and YouTuber MisterMulluc beautifully recreates the performance in Team Fortress 2 using the Source Filmmaker.
This is just wonderful.

Consider this a friendly notice that, should you be in the mood for some Team Fortress 2 soon, you're going to have to wait on a lengthy installation process. Upon launching the game, a content-conversion prompt will appear w...

If you already bought Tomb Raider on Steam or do so before March 12, your Team Fortress 2 inventory will have three brand new Tomb Raider related items bestowed upon it. The "Tomb Wrapper" is a Scout-only item ...

YouTuber JackMuu used the Source Filmmaker to remake this classic scene from The Venture Bros. Really, I'll take any excuse to talk about Venture Bros.
Oh, and don't forget you can get the Henchman gear plus other Adult Swim themed outfits for Team Fortress 2.

Have you got a spare hour? I could use one of those to watch Valve's Gabe Newell speak at the University of Texas at Austin. Quotes from his talk, titled "On Productivity, Economics, Political Institutions & The Future of...

I'm not the type of guy that has action figures lying about the house; my He-Man and Thundercats figures are up in the attic safely gathering dust for their revival in a younger generations' hands. But I'm real tempted to get...

While it's no secret that the most successful Team Fortress 2 item designers are making serious money, this is one of those topics that never ceases to fascinate me. PC Gamer has given us some good weekend reading in the form...

Adult Swim and Valve have teamed up once again to bring in themed gear based on the various hit shows from Cartoon Network's adult lineup. The update will be "coming soon," but in the mean time you can get a preview of some o...

In one year's time, what started off as an easier way for players to access new user-created content for Team Fortress 2 has grown to encompass more than just sweet hats and guns, with a touch of J.C. Leyendecker or...

After teasing us for the last several days, Valve has revealed the latest addition to Team Fortress 2, a co-operative game called Mann vs. Machine. Scheduled to go live this Wednesday, August 15, the new mode will pit six pl...

Folks that pre-order Sleeping Dogs on Steam before August 14 will be treated to eight new items in Team Fortress 2. "The Triad Pack" consists of gear for specific classes, as well as ones that will work for everyone. The cool...

In-game economies can be scary. Without the proper knowledge of just how everything works, anyone can be taken for a ride and shortchanged. When Team Fortress 2 introduced the Mann-Conomy in September of 2010, the game was ne...

Jeeze! Valve's Source Filmmaker was just released a couple days ago, and already fan-made movies are popping up!

Whenever I see Steam updating Team Fortress 2, I get extremely excited. I immediately check the patch notes, the Steam forums, and the subreddit. Recently, a new game mode has been teased -- the community is calling it MvM or...

Did you know that Team Fortress 2 had a backstory? Me neither. Apparently Valve's been fleshing out via comics since 2010. It's oddly interesting, and brings order to one of the most chaotic kill-a-thons in modern gaming.
Still wondering what all this hat business is about...

A $100 Team Fortress 2 item may seem absurd at first, but when you think about how much money gets pumped into the Mann Co. Store -- presumably a scary-high amount, says this guy who's bought nothing -- it's probably not so b...

If you thought Valve was simply going to put Team Fortress 2 out to the free-to-play ranch in 2012, then think again. A new blog post has announced a wealth of new content coming this year including the last "Meet The..." vid...

It's been a year since Team Fortress 2's Mann Co. Store went into effect, and what an impact it's had. In that period of time, community item creators have earned some $2 million for their creative efforts, according to Valve...
